Percent Slope Calculation
% slopee = where a b c d e f g h i
5
% slopee = 7 5 3 e 2 1 = (7 + 2(5) + 2) – (3 + 2(2) +1) = 11
10 m resolution 7 5 3 e 2 1 = (7 + 2(5) + 2) – (3 + 2(2) +1) = 11 = (7 + 2(5) + 3) – (2 + 2(1) +1) = 15 a b c d e f g h i = 80 = 80

% slopee = 10 m res = 7 5 3 e 2 1 = a b c d e f g h i ~0.23 =

Hydrologic Modeling Fill Sinks Flow Direction Flow Accumulation
Eliminate ‘pits’ in the DEM Flow Direction cell value indicates the direction of flow from a given cell Flow Accumulation cell value indicates the number of cells flowing into a given cell Stream Delineation cell value indicates whether a cell is a stream Watershed Delineation cell value indicates whether a cell is within an upslope contributing area of a given cell
